"If you would like to add a book to the library, we encourage you to scan and upload it if you believe you have the appropriate rights to do so." - The rights part is the hard thing to crack, I've talked to several rights owners but most have denied the right to upload scanned books to Archive.org.
Now, these two on Trochotrons I've actually been granted the rights to distribute as KTH, The Royal Institute of Technology, gave me explicit rights to do so. In some cases I thought there were no rights holders left but it often turns out that rights have either been sold to another company now holding the rights, or just transferred without any payment to someone else. I got a lot of help from some librarians all over the world to track down rights on some old books and unfortunately most of them still have copyrights owned by someone (some copyright owners got really nasty when I asked for the right to upload their old books). /Martin On Saturday, 6 July 2019 12:36:34 UTC+2, Paul Andrews wrote: > > Why not upload them to https://archive.org/index.php ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
